Hi there! I'm Benthe a Dutch, 30year old graduate of Philosophy of Law and Art History. Currently working as a freelancer in the field of social music, youth work & festival performance. I love meeting new people, exploring and living life in a bit more unconventional way. You could describe me as energetic, curious and sincere.

Working out how things work is my main life interest; this includes societies, physics, people, you name it. Big or small, I'll ask questions about it.
Also a great admirer of aesthetics: art, skies, mountains, architecture. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I tend to see it often (& when I don't it will be discussed haha).
Personal development is also big in my book!

If I'm lucky enough to be your hostee I'd be happy to take a small look into your world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For local contact, experiences, growth and above all adventure!

As a host I loved to have different world views on my couch. The short connection with a stranger is such a joy. I don't live on my own anymore so I can't host any longer, but who knows in the future.
